In an effort to increase entrepreneurial activity and thought sharing in Central Ohio, Ohio State University is teaming up with investors and tech companies throughout the region to establish WakeUpStartUp.
In an effort to establish a platform for fledgling entrepreneurs to connect with potential investors and mentors, Ohio State University has teamed up with tech companies in Columbus to establish WakeUpStartUp. Following a screening process, three entrepreneurs will be selected to give a short presentation on their start-up company or idea to an audience of industry experts, faculty and investors at each meeting.
The WakeUpStartUp website describes the meetings as an opportunity for entrepreneurs to "expand your network...[and] connect with some of Central Ohio’s finest in getting ideas made, netting quality advice, helping products really grow and landing serious investment." The first meeting will start at 7:30 a.m. on October 28th in the OSU Student Services Building. The meetings will likely become a regular monthly occurrence beginning in 2012.
